Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a fibrosis, or thickening, of the alveolar walls and the bronchiolar epithelium. It occurs in premature infants (less than 32 weeks) who have abnormal or arrested lung development and receive ventilation and oxygen for more than 28 days to survive. Respiratory distress in the newborn is the major reason why oxygen and ventilators are used for prolonged periods. The main cause of respiratory distress in the newborn is prematurity. Therefore the prevention of preterm births is the best way to prevent BPD.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, E
Distended abdomen, vomiting, and absence of stool are the signs indicating meconium ileus in the newborn.
